THE RICHMOND KNIGHTS OF LABOR IoNokH
THEIR CoLoRED MEMBERs.-Rchmond, Va,
FEBRUARY 23.-In the municipal election last
May the Knights of labor elected new city
council.
were obliterated in the interest of pure reform.
The Colored Knights 'went in with their
white brethren and voted as none but the color
cd brother can vote. They carried the day.
Tho Knights wanted new deal' and they
got it. They took hold of the city government
in July, and began by abolishing all city labor
contracts and substituting day labor with short
hours
Ths fat job Of the year was the building of
thc'hew City Hall. Three hundred thousand
dollars had been voted to build it. The pre-
vious "Bourbon" Council had advertised for
contractors bids. Tine reformcrs promptly re-
jected the contract plan and decided 10 build
the hall by day labor, and, under the supcrvi-
sion of the committee on grounds and buildings
the work Is now being carried on. Granite is
the material used, and it was patriotically re-
solved that the granite must come from beneath
the sacred soil of Virginia.
Lots OF stone masons were employed, and
the colored stone mason applied with the rest
for n job. lie didn't get it.
Among other things the reform committee on
grounds and buildings resolved that no colored
mechanics should be employed This raised a
row among the colored Knights, who had
helped to elect the "reformers." The city at
torney, Mr.. Charles V. Meredith, was called
upon by the city council for an opinion as to
whether the resolution was legal and consti-
tutional. That gentleman, who is a dyed-in-
the-wool Democrat, said that rhe committee had
no power to pass resolution excluding from en-
ployment thereon any one on account of color.
as such action was contrary to the Fourteenth
Amendment to the Constitution of the United
States. As the legislative branch of the NUM-
cipal government in Richmond, in other words
its City Council, could not pass such q resolu-
tiou with any legal effect, neither has ono of
lis agents or committee any such right. 1 am
OF the opinion that the resolution is void"
This was settler aud the "reformers" found
themselves in bad fix with regard to the col
ored stone mason, Knight of Labor and voter.
When next the sablo-hucd brothers applied
for work they were referred to the foreman who
told them he had no vacancies. They persisted
in their demands, and when somebody began to
weaken the Stone Mason's Union Iwhite)
"kickcd" and s'id If the "nigger' is employed
"wen quit" And the poor colored brother il
still left out in the cold.

Col. RIoN's SNUFF BoX.-A corrc-
sfondent to the Newberry Herald and
Nc'os, in to-day's issue Of that paper, says,
that just before the breaking out of the
war highly educated Swcde, named
Hammcrskold, settled in Lincolnton, N. q
to engage in the iron business; that aban-
doning his business to eater the Confedc-
rate army, he became impoverished, and
that after, the war, in order to raise money
he sold a valuable diamond-studdeG gold
snuff box, said to have been gift of the
King Of Sweden, " ;'ol. l.. d. Childs, oil
Columbia, who subseqr ...y presented i,
to Col. Rion. The correspondent thinks
that this is the alleged Orleans snuff box
He is correct. The snuff box bears the
letter o., and crown set in diamonds. l,
has not the Orleans monogram. The in.
itial is probably that of Oscar l, king ol
Sweden and Norway, born 1893, died
1859. Col. Rion's family knew the history
Of this snuff box, and his reference to it
as proof Of his Orleans descent, they
considered an evidence that he was under
the influence Of morphine when he made
his dying declaration.

FARM PiospEcTs In CHEsrE R-Rain, mud,
slush, and rain again, is the normal condition
of the weather. The farmers are gloomy over
the present; unpropitious outlook. The crops
last year were poor, and the consequence is that
trade is dull. Several merchants are disposing
of their stocks at and below (?) cost, while
others are holding their hands and keeping
watch ever their stuff. II is more difficult,
am told, to get supplies this year on the prom
ised crop. Last year large number of farmers
failed to pay out. For years the cry has been
.'hard dmes," but now it is hard times and
less money. What the preachers and peddlery
will do is o mystery.

DUPED NEGRoEs.-Thc Atlanta Con-

DUPED NEGRoEs.-Thc Atlanta Con-
staution Of Thursday contains the follow
ing: Captain Grim is investigating very
peculiar case, 1t appears that several
negroes were waited on at Spartanburg,
5. C., by an cmigraut agent who stated
that they could procure employment in
hotel somewhere in Mississippi, and that
good wages would be paid them These
negroes, being out of steady employment,
seeing and, as they thought, a chance of
improving their condition, readily accepted
the induccmeut held out to them, sold out
their homes, and started with the agent
for the promised land. The negroes
reached the city Monday night. When
they arrived here, The agent Informed them
that the hotel in Mississippi would not
take them, but that they could get work
on the levccs on the Mississippi River
To mako matters still worse aamttauce to
tho hotels and boarding houses in Atlanta
was denied them, aud they wore compelled
to make tho Union Depot their temporary
quarters. Two of the negroes, who gave
their names as John Clark aud Taylor
Hatch, called at police headquarters yes
tcrday morning and laid the facts before
Chief Connolly. These darkeys told the
Chief that they were entirely destitute, and
had not tasted any food for two days.
They said also that their baggage had been
checked through to Meridian, Miss, and
they could not get it. Captain Grim was
detailed to look into the matter, aud found
the statements of the negroes were true.
There is no doubt in the mind of Captain
Grim that these negroes were induced to
leave their homes under false promises,
and the case will be thoroughly ventilated
by the police authorities of the city.

S5O,0OO IS AN OLD Loo HUT.-Keyport, N
j., February l9.-John I. Schenck, the old
Monmouth County hermit, is slowly dying nj
the home of his brother, to whom he was taken
nine months ago. The hermit is nearly 80
years of age, an for noarly fifty years lived in
seclusion, allowing no one to cross his thresh-
old. Just before his removal to his brothers
home he had been suffering from q stroke of
paralysis, and had it not been for the timely
visit Of his brother ho would have certainly
died at the time for want of nourishment and
care. The near neighbors noticed tha, he had
not been out for several days, and, suspectinp
that he was sick, sent for his brother, who
found him very low. After his removal nm
investigation Of this hut was made. In n little
shanty which was built in o thicket was found
an iron box containing papers worth $40. 900.
In other corners Of the tumblc-down building
was found quite large quantity of gold and
silver coins. Under one Of the beds in his
two-stOry rookery which answered for a home
was found an old woolen stocking filed with
money.
The interior of the building very much re-
sembled museum, there being many curious
articles hung upon the walls In all about
thirty muskets and guns were counted. On
attempting to.take one down Mr.. Schenck was
as'onished at its weight. Upon examination
he was rather surprised to find il filed up with
$40 gold pieces. In all nearly $50, 900 in mon
ey and valuable papers were found concealed
around the hut and outbuildings. The old hut
is daily visited by many sightseers. This an
cient tumblc-down building is hardly two s,o-
ries high with an old-style roof slanting near
to the ground There nre four rooms, the lar
gest being eight by fifteen feet. The staircase
is made from an enormous oak log, with deep
notchcs cut in it. Much of the furniture WAS
made from oak trees cut on the farm.
